I think that a simple hair routine is all you need to have the look you want. More products tend to ruin or take over your do and I'm not about the stiff and damaged life. I have three travel sized products that I have been trying out and using. I love the travel sized products because I feel like I don't use enough to need a full sized amount.

Bumble and Bumble Repair Blow Dry- My best friend had recently given me this and I was a bit skeptical about it because I haven't tried Bumble and Bumble before, but knew that it was a really good brand that people love. 

I don't normally blow dry my hair, I just towel or air dry it on its own. A couple days I was working out in the morning and would come home and shower, then I thought I could try out this. It's basically  a runny cream-like liquid and I would kind of tousle it into my hair and it would really make my hair feel silky smooth and blown out. I was really impressed by this and would recommend it for daily blow dryers and for hair that might need a bit of help. 

Nexxus Comb Thru Finishing Mist-When I do curl or style my hair, I have only been using this finishing mist because of how much it holds my hair without being sticky and stiff. It's a medium hold hairspray that I have found to work on loose curls and waves, which is just what I love doing to my hair. 

I love doing gift guides and I feel like the summer isn't the most "gift giving" of a season unlike the winter holidays. So, I thought it would be fun to come up with some birthday ideas or even no-reason gift ideas to use in case the situation arises! 

A lot goes on during the summer and since there is no specific "theme" it can seem hard to find the perfect gift to give. Obviously, these are girly gifts, but I think these are great for pretty much every beauty lover. 

The Lush Fresh and Fancy gift set is one of the most amazingly smelling sets I have ever gotten from there. I love trying out new Lush goodies, so this is a great gift for all the beauty lovers. There are great summery scents consisting of lime, lemon, grapefruit, and eucalyptus. I really enjoy the Ocean Salt face and body scrub as well as the Outback Mate soap! 

You obviously need a card when gift giving, and I found these Papersource Flamingo cards a while back on clearance. I think they're perfect for just giving to people and writing lovely notes in. 

I also think this iridescent eyelash curler is everything. It might not seem like the perfect gift, but I just had to include it because I thought it looked so cute and it's any makeup lover's dream to have a rainbow eyelash curler. I found this one at Walgreens and I think no one should spend more than five bucks on one ever. 

Also, for makeup lovers, I was at my local dollar store and was surprised to find these awesome false lashes for a buck. I have always used Kiss nail products and was so impressed by how easy and pretty these lashes look on. 

I also believe in handmade or homemade gifts. My best friend Madeleine made me many essential oil products to use when I'm stressed or need help getting to sleep. She also made me a coconut butter and mango body lotion that I use every single night before I go to bed. I am all about organic products and using remedies instead of splurging on products! Plus, they make the meaning behind the gift so much more special. 

Any written sentiment always makes me smile. My other best friend Mikayla got me this cute frame from hallmark for my graduation and I couldn't agree more with it. It looks so cute on my shelf and I will definitely bring it to college to let everyone know how much I love yoga! 

I also love buying people perfume and rollers. I got this Victoria's Secret roller recently on sale for like $6 and love how summery and fresh it smells. You only need a small amount on your wrists and under your neck to get the sweet smell across. Perfect for summer parties and going out. 

I love gift giving in general, but there's something about it during the summer that I seem to love. How you can personalize a gift and it doesn't have to do with a holiday or anything. What is your favorite thing about gift giving? 

It has been a while since I have used up my last Lush mask that broke me out, so when I walked into Lush the other day, I knew I wanted to try something a little different. If you know me and have read some of my posts on here, then you might have seen that I like to review many gift sets and boxes. I don't think gift sets should be exclusive to gift giving--even when it comes to yourself! I love gift sets because you can get such a variety of products to try out and sometimes you can save a little more money. 

I also think that this Lush Fresh and Fancy gift set is totally worth it for anybody looking to try out some new Lush goods or give as a gift to a friend. I wanted to initially just buy the Ocean Salt Scrub, but since it's about $20 for a big container, I decided to use my money towards this set that is only about $10 more and comes with more stuff. Great smelling stuff, might I add. 

This bar of soap brings back great memories of my family and I traveling to Mackinac Island and going into all of the cute shops and boutiques in Northern Michigan. This Outback Mate soap is so fresh and fruity. For being the first Lush soap I have ever owned and tried, I am really wondering why I have never tried them out.

This soap contains eucalyptus, lemongrass, and peppermint and is the ultimate wakeup call on early mornings or even after workouts.

The Ocean Salt has been an all time favorite face and body scrub of mine. I love the citrusy lime, avocado butter, and coconut oil. It's so important to exfoliate and this really gets the job done. 

I haven't really been that big of a Shower Jelly fan, but I thought I would give this one another go. Only because they are pretty hard to use. This 93,000 Miles Shower Jelly consists of eucalyptus, peppermint, and cinnamon leaf oil to help sore muscles--which intrigued me since I like to work out. It is a very warm smelling jelly and you basically take a small bit out and lather it like shower gel or soap.
